The questioner : Yes. Yes.
The Shaykh : What? Yes.
The questioner : Is it taken from this other apparent meaning, which Allah the Exalted knows and has not negated? Is it taken from this angle?
The Shaykh : If they contradict each other, there must be a stronger one.
The questioner : If one does not know about Allah.
The Shaykh : If it is on the earth, it is protected from him in its entirety, if so. Yes.
The questioner : That is enough for today, the truth of the existence of a specific relationship.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is obligatory, it is obligatory, it is obligatory, as long as there is a possibility of this and that. Unless there is a stronger indicator that prevents the second; that is a different matter.
The questioner : O Shaykh, the cause of the obligation is that Allah...
The Shaykh : The cause of the obligation is that the speech of Allah the Exalted, He knows it, Glorified and Exalted is He, and He knows what follows from it, and He knows its implications, and He knows that it admits of two meanings. If it is suitable for both, it is applied to both. And likewise the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
